Chilaquiles with carnitas
Lilia C.

Local Gem. The food here is really good and reasonably priced. If it's your first time, they'll point you toward their popular dishes, which is helpful. Their portions are very generous! The pancakes are a standout--super fluffy and not dry at all. They have indoor and outdoor tables available. The staff is warm and welcoming--our waitress Alicia was great. It has that true home-style diner feel, where they actually take the time to chat with you and make you feel like a regular. I overheard that they've had the same chef for 30 years, along with some of the same servers, which honestly says a lot. I'll definitely be making this place one of my regular spots.

Vegetarian omelet
Areen H.

This was the perfect family post-graduation brunch! We heard about this place recently, that it's one of the best brunches in Orange and it lived up to the hype! I love that it's a hidden gem tucked away in a small shopping center. It's a small but quaint spot with both indoor and outdoor (limited) seating. Emilio our server was wonderful, the food was delicious and the portions were great. Especially awesome that you can choose a pancake with your omelette as your choice of bread! Because everyone always wants a side of just one pancake with their breakfast, literally perfect, and included in the price (epic)! The hash browns were delicious and I especially loved the squaw bread option (amongst many others they offer). Last but not least and kind of random but I really like how the iced coffees are served in a chilled mug, it's just that much better. We'll def be back OCB, thank you!

Veggie scramble with onion rings and a pancake
Melody S.

This is a hidden little gem! My girlfriend and I came here for brunch. We had Emilio as our server. He was awesome. Super attentive and kind. Nice ambiance with a little covered outdoor seating and indoor seating. The food was really good. Will definitely be back.

I'm a little late with getting this review out. I couldn't figure out the name of the restaurant but finally figured it out! Food was great, we sat outside because the inside smell like old oil. Definitely does not have good ventilation. Our waitress was nice and the food was good. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

Denver Omelette W/ Hash Browns! A must try!
Ariana M.

It was Our very first time and definitely will not be our last time eating here! Their was a few people ahead of us, but the wait was not too long. We were greeted and sat down by a wonderful young man named Emilio, He got us coffee right away and made sure we knew that our food might take little longer since they were at capacity. We didn't mind the wait since he would check on us every time he passed and always with a huge friendly smile. You can absolutely tell he loves his job and im really glad we had him as our server! The food was absolutely amazing! He recommended the Denver Omelette and it did not disappoint from the service to the food it was all top tier! Thank You!

Been here quite a few times and it's always good. The servers are friendly and the portions for breakfast are pretty big. I usually go with the omelette and it never disappoints. It does get busy on the weekends, so getting there early helps avoid the crowd. Prices are reasonable and I like the string lighting and decorations. It gives a nice vibe.

Chilaquiles with chorizo

Amazing service! Very friendly staff and incredible food! Chilaquiles were so good with a nice kick!

Bloody Mary
Adam G.

Nice little mom-and-pop breakfast joint located just off the side of the main street. Very relaxed vibe, run by one incredibly busy gal who I assume was the owner. Prices were very reasonable and the food was excellent. Good selection of food, the eggs Benedict in particular was very tasty. Highly recommend not to overlook it because it's a bit unassuming from the street view.

Crab Cakes (imitation crab) | IG @moniquedao
Monique D.

A little disappointed overall with the food. Pastrami Sandwich was OK. The pastrami itself was a little dry, thick, and not fatty enough. French roll wasn't crunchy like I requested. I asked for the crab cakes as a side instead of Benedict. I should've asked whether it were made with real or imitation crab before ordering. Turns out, it's imitation crab. I'm not sure I've been to a restaurant that serves imitation crab for crab cakes. Feels kinda wrong. And these "crab" cakes came out not as hot as I expected. Yes they were crispy on the outside but the inside was not hot. Makes me wonder if it's old. Originally told it would be one cake for $6 but they gave me 2. So that's cool. Small plaza with limited parking. Restaurant is also small and it felt too crowded inside. Anyway, I wanted to like this place because of high ratings. But left feeling underwhelmed.

Came for brunch after a run! The ambiance was cute, tight for big parties but we enjoyed our time. Got some mimosas and drinks to start off with! Our server was so kind and friendly :) wasn't able to catch her name Highly recommend the chilaquiles. They prepared it to where the chilaquiles were crispy, not too soggy, which went perfectly with the salsa. The chicken n waffles were also made well! The chicken was juicy and had a nice crisp when bit into. As far as the breakfast burritos and turkey melt; the eggs could've used some more seasoning and the portion of eggs and hash browns was overwhelming compared to the protein portion. The salsa for the burritos had mixed reviews. The turkey melt was ok, could also use some side sauce and thankfully our server recommended mixing some sauces and came out so good! Think it was cholula and ranch.

French toast- crème brûlée excellent!!!
Harsimran s.

Solid breakfast spot! I met a few friends who live nearby. Parking lot was easy and restaurant was empty on a Thursday morning. Service was strange- the server kept saying 'everything is good' and didn't really good enough feedback. We ended up ordering vanilla cappuccino (excellent), shared the French toast (incredible) and got three separate egg dishes with sour dough and some hash browns to share. Everything was excellent! The spot was fun and vibrant! Felt clean and comfortable. A great find!

Sangria
Catherine C.

Everything we ordered was super delicious. Gourmet omelette was superb. Sangria was amazing. Bloody Mary was delicious. Pancake was yummy. The prices are very reasonable. The service was good. It was one lady doing her best to ensure that everyone was taken care of. She was very nice and friendly.

Plenty of beer selections to choose from, but I actually opted for a dirty soda!! Diet Coke, vanilla cream, coconut and lime ‍ Good selection and variety of options on the menu, we want to come back to just try a mix of appetizers- they had a lot to pick from. We ordered a few apps and some entrees: Deviled eggs, Crispy Tuna, Southwest Chicken Bowl and Pepperoni Pizza. All were very tasty, we cleaned the plates! They have a lot of seating, as well as an outdoor patio. Plenty of TVs if you are wanting to watch a game. We will definitely be back for more options on the menu!

They were consistently good. Then we saw the service start to slip about 6 months ago. I'm writing this review waiting at another restaurant down the street because we just walked out of Finney's after getting seated. This is the second time we've walked out of Finney's. Both times we just got tired of sitting at our table waiting for a server to come talk to us. They see us. They know we're there. No "hey we're really busy but we'll be right with you." Just no one seems to be responsible for taking our order, and so no one even checks in. It sucks. Finney's was great. Oh and they should get rid of the skeeball. Super annoying.

The owner claimed we forgot our IDs, which isn't true. One of us simply left it in the car and went back to get it. He also claimed one of us was wearing a tank top, which was completely false. It was a regular short-sleeve shirt. Maybe the owner should learn what a tank top actually is before making assumptions and insulting customers. On top of that, making comments about people "living at home" and not being able to "afford sleeves" was immature, unnecessary, and honestly just embarrassing behavior from a business owner. The whole experience was strange and uncomfortable. Considering it was a weekend night and there were only about four people there, the place already looked like it was about to close down. After the way we were treated, it's not hard to see why. I give it a few years since most of it audience is old and passing away with it

What other better place to celebrate our friend reunion at a place called "Reunion"? ;)…read more We were looking for a good brunch place to try out and found this place near Corona. Parking: I had no problem finding parking spot as the lot is huge and shared with many other businesses. Interior: We were seated right away without any wait time as we arrived when they just opened. We were seated in a dark area of the restaurant (think bar vibe) so I was a little not sure at first. Most brunch places I went to were always filled with sunlight and bright colorful interiors. This place embraced a classic, quiet feel, something like a Steak House would have. Service: Our server's name was Susan I believe, who was nice and attentive through the whole meal, despite the crowd slowly built up and filled the restaurant. She never failed to check back on us, not just once but twice and refilled our water. She probably isn't as familiar with the brunch menu favorites but seem to know more about the Main menu. The General Manager came out and greeted us because most of their customers are regulars and it's uncommon to have first timers like us visiting. This nice hospitality made us feel very warmly welcomed and impressed. Food: I couldn't decide whether to go with the Slow braised beef on the brunch menu (braised beef benedict) or the main menu but ended up going with the Main menu to get a good portion size. It was a perfect choice because the beef is just amazing. It was cooked to a soft perfection, well seasoned, the roasted vegetable was also cooked just right and not super raw/ crunchy like other places. Then the star of the show arrived - the butter cake. As Susan suggested, this is their most popular dessert and I can see why. The butter cake comes piping hot with the ice cream on top. There's a nice sugar crunchy feel near the bottom of the cake. It's so delicious that I want to come back just to eat this cake. We had a great time overall and would love to come back.

ENCHILIDA SUIZAS, lobster + shrimp filling, corn, poblano cream sauce, pickled red onion, cilantro, queso fresco, I give 5/5, I enjoyed the combination of the sauce and enchiladas, it wasn't overcooked and had a great refreshing savory flavor. Plated very nicely, visually appealing. BULGOGI KIMCHI FRIED RICE, fried eggs, gochujang, green onion furikake, pickled radish, cilantro, I give 4/5, overall I enjoyed this plate, but I do feel the beef could have been slightly stronger in terms of flavor? The rice was holding all the spices and taste. DULCE DE LECHE FRENCH TOAST, crème fraîche chantilly, brûléed banana, chocolate sauce, maldon salt, I would give 5/5, presentation was beautiful, taste wise I really enjoyed it, had a very good balance of sweetness and not too strong. I know my ratings are less than a 5 in general, but I really felt the whole experience was pleasant, enjoyable, good food and good vibes, therefore 5 out of 5

I wanted to share some comprehensive feedback regarding a recent experience, aiming to highlight both your successes and areas where further refinement could elevate the customer journey even further. First and foremost, I must commend your team for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. From my initial phone call to the moment I picked up my order, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of customer service, which often feels lacking in many establishments today, truly sets American Grub apart. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, all my reviews and communications are crafted solely from my personal experiences and genuine perspectives, not AI. Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback. Even though the review was long..(lol) I wanted to make sure the details are accurate and understandable. Plus I think you and your establishment are great and I wanted to detail that as well Kimberly.
